'Anne Downie has seamlessly woven fact and fiction to conjure a truly gripping novel.' Jackie McGlone, The Scotsman September 2010 'This book reminds us that the Scottish Enlightenment was preceded by a century of backwardness, bigotry and the occasional bonfire of banshees and witches. Downie succeeds in capturing the spirit of these turbulent times in which the whiff of sulphur, the spectre of Satan and spite of supposed friends and God-fearing neighbours was never far away.' Scottish Field November 2010
